UNICORN WISDOM

* Weak links in our nature which we have chosen to strengthen this lifetime.

* Hazards or difficulties likely to be encountered during a cycle.

Challenges normally deal with material concerns and outward relationships. This necessitates our pursuit of inner growth as well as our efforts to deal on an outer level with each Challenge.

As we understand that any chain is only as strong as its weakest link, it behooves us to give due consideration to our challenges. Overcoming them promises considerable progress toward a smoother and more rewarding life.

Challenges are more acute when they are the same as:

* The Life Path

* A Pinnacle

* A Sub-Cycle

The Challenges are found by the exact opposite formula of the Pinnacles:

* The first Challenge is the reduced total of the month of birth subtracted from the day of birth.

* The second Challenge is the reduced total of the day of birth subtracted from the year of birth.

* The third Challenge is the reduced total of the 1st Challenge subtracted from the 2nd Challenge.

* The fourth Challenge is the reduced total of the month of birth subtracted from the year of birth.

There is no Nine Challenge

A Zero Challenge is normally a less demanding Challenge. It says either you have no particular Challenge to work on or it is giving you time to take a good look at your other Challenges.
